    Dunno about that, there is still a GN125 in Christchurch (well, now I think they are bored/stroked out to 140 or some such thing) ridden by a fat old geezer (well, he does hold a world land speed record, although not on a G mobile) that would most likely show 80% of bucket riders in NZ a clean pair of heals.

    I recon he would be pushing 90Kg's..........

    I reckon he'd be pushing more than that, he sold that bike and went to the darkside and bought an FXR150 but I reckon on his old bike he'd still be in the top 1/4 of the field

    No that's not right. VT250 spada is not a drum rear. I know this because I have one.

    SS90 is right on this one, early VT250 had a 2.5 inch rim VTR250 had 3.0 inch rims, both are drum braked
    My neighbours diary says I have boundary issues

    Fading memory from when I was looking at rims to run 17s on the old nail tells me that some of the VT or VTR 250s ran a drum rear. You could ask Sydwyz what he is using on the back of his GL145 as I'm pretty sure it's from one of those and he has a drum rear.

    Well it has got to be better than advising him to get one of those smelly two strokes that are faster and handle better than my bike..................hold on I think I have done this wrong

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    Out of the old school bikes the GN is the best of the four strokes and it certainly handles better than a GP125 for a start
